Hi everyone I have a ram that is sheding slow this year - but I was out to the pasture and he let me pull clumps out of his back and he really seemed itchy around his mane - he is rubbing on everything more that usually - I can tell he is very uncomfortable ? When I gentlely pulled loose hair from around his neck it came off and it was down to the skin - the only think I can think of is lice or mange - anyone have any suggestions on how to help this guy out ?
